Perris City Council candidate Raul Ruiz is withdrawing from the Tuesday, Nov. 6, election and won’t serve if elected after admitting he broke a law related to his residency, according to a newspaper ad.

Riverside County District Attorney’s Office spokesman John Hall said in a written statement that prosecutors declined to take further action because any potential law violation was corrected before the election.

Riverside County Registrar of Voters Rebecca Spencer said ballots have already been printed and that Aug. 10 was the last official day for candidates to withdraw.

Because Ruiz signed campaign documents under penalty of perjury, Spencer said she was unsure whether he was out of legal trouble, though he published the ad. Spencer said the Perris City Clerk officially oversees city election filings.

Ruiz’s first campaign intention statement listed an address in Perris. The second statement, marked as an amendment to correct the address, kept the street name but changed the street number and added an apartment number, campaign documents showed.
